Eastern Conference Standings
Dont have any faith in Miami??
I'm also predicting another injury to Dwyane Wade.
Mavs 2008 Champs. It is an even year for the Spurs, Miami is done as is Golden State. We just have to wait until late June 2008 before it is confirmed that the Mavs are the champions of the world!
I know you're only telling yourself that, so I won't say anything.Mavs 2008 Champs. It is an even year for the Spurs, Miami is done as is Golden State. We just have to wait until late June 2008 before it is confirmed that the Mavs are the champions of the world!
Even years or odd years are just bull , just another spurs excuse for their inability to repeat.Mavs 2008 Champs. It is an even year for the Spurs, Miami is done as is Golden State. We just have to wait until late June 2008 before it is confirmed that the Mavs are the champions of the world!
Whats the Cavaliers excuse for not winning, well, at all?
No answer, don't know why I bother.
The Suns the champions?
Exactly what epiphony of defense did the Suns acquire over the summer?
Grant Hill? GMAFB.
Spurs or Mavericks will come out of the west.
Bulls or Celtics in the east.
That simple.
Every year for the Cavs is just bull . What a overrated and overhyped team. I see them being the Phoenix of the east. But at least Phoenix has some offensive talent.
Finals: Celtics vs. Spurs
Duncan will punish garnett and push him to cry on the court.
Like the Cavs? What do they do repetedly? Suck? Lose? Choke?
you know as well as all the NBA watching community. you guys have no room to talk about anything until you have the highest score when the clock reads 0:00 in the last game of the NBA Finals. that and how gay cuban will look on dancing with the stars. here's to you having another panic attack in '08Mavs 2008 Champs.

My 2007-2008 prediction:
ashrafabdeljaber comes up with a "classic" pic of Michael Jordan getting blocked by Bill Russell, claims its real, then claims its not, then wonders why everyone is laughing at him again.

My God do you make me laugh.
I'm so glad you're back in true form.
It's going to be a fun season.
Dallas will beat the crap out of the Spurs again, they just had bad luck agaisnt a mismatch like the Warriors, They are WAY better than the Spurs as indicated by the 2006 playoffs and this year regular season (3-1) in favor of the Mavs.
Luck doesn't come every year for the Spurs, it will run out this coming season, hopefully the league will have more control over the refs which means no freebies for the Spurs.
Phoenix and Dallas will be hungry and more alert.
Second round exit for the Spurs once again.
I wonder what excuse are they going to have this time?
Maybe: "Parker played summer ball and wasn't 100% from his ankle "injury" suffered during international play. LOL
Go Flop in freeway traffic with your little pal "Sideshow Bob"
Must I remind you the Spurs led the NBA last year in point differential.
The Spurs will repeat in '08 for these reasons:
THE DIRTY DOZEN
1) they have the best team as they had the best point differential last year.
[they also play a slow tempo, so point differential is more significant than for, say, Phoenix.]
2) they had the best record in the playoffs last year.
3) Joey Crawford will not ref their games this year.
4) Udoka is a key addition, as Bowen may slow down a little.
5) the Spurs did not adapt to the new ball last season, and got much better when the old ball returned.
6) Ginobilli off the bench > Ginobilli starting, so they can do it for the whole year, instead of half.
7) Duncan was recovering from a painful foot injury during the first half of last year. This year he isn't.
8) Duncan is in the best shape of his life.
9) This is the first time attention is being placed on the Spurs failure to repeat, and the challenge will motivate them.
10) Duncan is by far the best player in the NBA if you look at lenovo +/- ratings. He blew everyone out of the park the second half of last year.
11) Vegas odds place the Spurs as favorites to repeat.
12) By the second half of the year, Beno will be the backup point guard. The Spurs biggest weakness is backup point guard. Beno is talented, now has experience, and has a burning desire to win.
You lost me here.
Beno is talented but he cannot function in Pop's system.
I'm also not convinced about the new ball/old ball.
The Spurs got better after the Rodeo trip, as they usually do. The ball was a coincidence.
